against the front

Chapter 217 Miracle?

"Even if it's against the Lakers, even if it's against the Cavaliers, we haven't had such a difficult time!"

When the main lineups of the two sides re-appeared in the second half of the second quarter, Yan Hua, who could not find a suitable offensive opportunity, was surrounded by Marcus Camby and LaMarcus Aldridge. After giving the basketball to Serge Ibaka, he complained in his heart.

However, Serge Ibaka, who received the pass from Yan Hua, did not get a suitable shot, but passed the basketball to Kevin Martin on the outside, because at the moment of Yan Hua's pass, he was Double-teaming Yan Hua looked at LaMarcus Aldridge, and rushed to defend Serge Ibaka. Serge Ibaka, who received the pass from Yan Hua, hadn't adjusted his shooting posture yet. Aldridge has already rushed to the front. In today's game, LaMarcus Aldridge was like taking medicine, and the speed of helping to defend and fill the position was surprisingly fast.

Due to the big victory in the last game, and the absence of Brandon Roy and Greg Oden, the Kings have inevitably been a little flustered. Even in the training session, they have already discussed their opponents in the next round It will be the Mavericks or the Jazz, and the head coach Reggie Toyce is also preparing to experiment with some other tactics on the Trail Blazers in the remaining games, and even reduce the playing time of the main players to prepare for the next game. Ready for the second round.

However, after the start of this game, when Brandon Roy chose to come back early, whether it was the Kings players on or off the court, or the head coach Reggie Toyce, they all discovered that the Blazers were no longer The piece of meat on the cutting board.

Under the leadership of Brandon Roy, all the Blazers players are like lunatics. Whether it is Zhu Holiday holding the ball or Tony Allen holding the ball, before they pass the middle circle, Ann Dere Miller will press them crazily, slow down their advance speed, and interfere with their handling of the ball, and the rest of the Trail Blazers players, including Brandon Roy, are also like mad dogs and wolves , Staring at his opponent player, that kind of defense that wants to bite the opponent to death with his mouth also makes it difficult for the Kings to struggle on the offensive end.

Mental strength is sometimes so magical. Compared with the previous game, the Blazers' rotation speed on the defensive end is also obviously a lot stronger, especially LaMarcus Aldridge, who is playing against Yan Hua and Serge Ibaka kept running back and forth, not only to cooperate with Marcus Camby to double-team Yan Hua, but also to bear the burden of defending Serge Ibaka.

In the last game, LaMarcus Aldridge either had to take care of Serge Ibaka on the defensive end, or he could only let Serge Ibaka go and double-team Yan Hua, but in today's game, Aldridge was able to take care of both ends. Although he occasionally lost his position or missed the defense, compared to the previous game, Aldridge played against the ball on the defensive end. The contribution of the team has been greatly improved.

The head of the team went into battle with an injury and tried his best. The second head also spared no effort on both ends of the offense and defense, running wildly without hesitating physical strength. The remaining role players will naturally follow suit. Use all your strength and do your best to deal with the players you are facing.

Although the Blazers' defense seems a little disorganized and lacks a sense of integrity, every player has always maintained a strong defensive aggressiveness, and the five players on the field have no obvious defensive shortcomings. Under such circumstances, the Blazers still relied on a strong and crazy defense to firmly suppress the King, and even the King's internal and external integration was cut off by the Blazers.

"Charles, if LaMarcus Aldridge can maintain this performance throughout the series, and the Blazers can maintain this performance throughout the entire team, then this series is really possible. There are variables."

When all the games in the first half were over, Kenny Smith also became a little excited to see the high-spirited and high-spirited Blazers up and down, and the 54-48 score on the scoreboard. Brandon Roy Using his body to infect the whole team of the Blazers, and also let the Blazers burst out with unimaginable fighting power, especially the second leader of the Blazers, LaMarcus Aldridge, in today's game, he has obviously improved The shadow of a superstar.

"Aldridge's performance today is indeed very tough. Perhaps they may really perform a miracle here." LaMarcus Aldridge's performance today is very appetizing to Barkley. Odd is known as one of the best power forwards of the new generation, but before that, Charles Barkley always thought that Aldridge's style of play was a bit soft, afraid of physical confrontation, and his performance on the court was not tough enough , His performance is sorry for his reputation, but today Barkley saw everything that a top power forward should have from Aldridge. As long as Aldridge can maintain his current performance, Barkley believes that He's definitely going to be one of the best fours around.

For most NBA players, as long as they stand on the court, they hope that their team can win, especially the Trail Blazers in front of them. For this victory, Brandon Roy, who had just undergone meniscus repair surgery and was still recovering, took the risk of injury and chose to come back early. The pioneers who have taken advantage will never give up their advantages and the upcoming victory.

As for the Kings, in the face of Brandon Roy's sudden comeback and the Blazers' suddenly strengthened defense, they were directly stunned in the first half. If they still can't find a solution after the intermission If there is a way, once the Blazers take the lead and enter the fourth quarter, the confidence and fighting spirit of the Kings will definitely be shaken. Therefore, under the ebb and flow, it is absolutely possible for the Blazers to take a game away from Sacramento. victorious.

The performance of the two sides in the third quarter also made Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley more firm in their views during the intermission. The defensive strength of the team has steadily maintained the suppression of the Kings on both ends of the offense and defense.
